OK not great but OK
I love her historical novels. She’s brings the historical period alive and you can’t wait to see what happens
This story takes place during the depression AND the dust-bowl of Texas. A young woman lives with her father on a farm after her young daughter and husband were killed in a car accident. The father invites four down-and-out four siblings headed by a teenage boy, abandoned by their parents, to work and live on the farm, where they are not wholly …
This is a good story.
Life during the Depression in the dust bowl is vividly depicted. I could feel the sting of dust against my skin.
Great characters, great read
Very predictable dust-bowl era tale. I guess you could say it was ‘heart-warming’.
Loved it.
It held my interest and there was several interesting situations. And I liked no graphic sex or violence. Could identity with hard times and determination to overcome. Also the maturing of a teenage was realistic.
Good story line. Real characters, well-defined. Depression era, not sugar-coated.
I read to the end, so I wasn’t really bored, but the use of language was not original or engaging, and the “evangelical” perspective, while not heavy handed, was still a bit off putting.
Very good
Really enjoy this series
This was a sweet story. Kind of hard to get into, but very good overall.
Loved this book. Enjoyed all the characters
I loved the characters. They kept me so involved I couldn’t put it down.
Read the whole series. Loved it wish there were more!
good depiction of life during the Dust Bowl years.
